 TIME FOR DEMOCRATS TO GET RID OF THEIR LEGISLATIVE POLICY OF ``DON'T 
                           ASK, DON'T TELL''

  (Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, oh when, oh when 
will the majority party get rid of its legislative policy of ``don't 
ask, don't tell''? We saw it when we were dealing

with the health care bill, where they refused to ask the American 
people what they wanted and then refused to tell them what was in the 
bill. Remember? Pass the bill and you will find out what's in it.
  Now we have a new rendition of ``don't ask, don't tell.'' Don't ask 
us what our budget is, we don't know what it is, and we won't tell you 
what's in it. Wait until after the year is over and we add up all the 
debt and we add up all the deficits and we add up all the taxes and we 
add up all the spending.
  Mr. Speaker, it's time for the Democrats to get rid of their 
legislative policy of ``don't ask, don't tell.'' Let's be truthful with 
the American people and tell them what we are doing to them.
